.
L       + W + L       + W = 548     (perimeter)

(2W+64) + W + (2W+64) + W = 548


6W + 128 = 548  ====>  6W = 548 - 128 = 420  ====>  W =  = 70.


Thus we found the width. It is  W = 70 yards.


Then the length is  L = 2W + 64 = 2*70 + 64 = 204 yards.


Answer.  The dimensions are  70 yards (the width)  and  204 yards (the length).
